*****************************
Natalka and Edwin run a detective agency in Shoreham, Sussex, and are frustrated by a steady stream of minor cases. When a murder case turns up, local writer Melody Chambers is found dead, and her family is convinced it is murder. Edwin, a big fan of the obit pages, thinks there is a link to the writer of Melody's obituary, who pre-deceased his subject. The trail leads them to a slightly sinister writers' retreat, where another writer is found dead. Seeking professional help, the amateur investigators turn to their friend, detective Harbinder Kaur, to find that they have stumbled on a plot that is stranger than fiction.

The Last Word is an unmissable new novel from the bestselling author of the Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries. Praise for The Last Word has been outstanding, with Irish Independent calling it "outstanding and hugely entertaining," Crime Monthly praising its "twisty" plot, Belfast Telegraph calling it "hooked," Candis Kept me guessing to the end, and Saga calling it "kept me guessing to the end."
